Introducing my Tangerine 73 project

[NOPDK]

Long studs coming. 917 calipers looking good behind the 15in fuchs. Tight fit.

250/350 is about what my wheel rates are (I have torsion bars). It feels great for road trips but I'm 24 years old.

I'd actually like something more on the order of 400/600 for sporting driving. The A-arms bottom out in front in certain turns when you take them fast and if you hit a bump at the same time. There is a bit more roll than I'd like but still tolerable.

Spring rates will be a work in progress. I went with my best guess of what would work for my use. Good thing with coil overs is that I can change to a stiffer spring without too much pain. Figure there will be some sorting out and dialing in. Right now just want to get her on the road!

Nice job. I hope you get the engine in it soon.

Praise the Darklord and satanic details!

Forged Mahle 3.2L conversion pistons. Currently at machine shop having valve relief pockets deepened.

Does anybody know what a stock 3.0L or 3.2L piston weighs?

Here are a few weights for comparison....

Stock 3.0 liter piston weighs about 480grams. This is without Pin and rings.

J.E. 98mm with is about 450 grams depending on compression.

J.E. 100mm (3.6) is about 490 grams
